Vanilla Black
About Vanilla Black
Your mother's mantra of 'eat your vegetables' probably never brought to mind dishes quite like this. Vanilla Black, originally from York but now located in the City of London, smashes the stereotype of bland, lentil-laden hippie dishes, and instead takes a modern, imaginative approach to vegetarian cuisine. Spacious and done with art deco-esque flair, Vanilla Black's cool and comfortable dining room sets the stage for its innovative cuisine. Dishes such as hickory smoke duck egg and ducketts Caerphilly pudding and sweet potato vindaloo with saffron risotto are sure to make an impression on even the most die-hard carnivore. Desserts like carrot cake and orange sorbet with crystallised coriander don't disappoint on the flavour front either.
